All is a Miracle

23 July, 2014

A personal blog is perhaps the closest thing there is to witnessing someone’s metamorphosis, which is truly a thing of beauty. If you’re anything like me, you most definitely can’t grasp the idea of settling for things as they are. I live to grow, to learn something new every day, to try and see the world through different eyes, to evolve, to constantly push myself, even if it’s with the small things.

When it comes to photography, I wasn’t always the greatest subject, not that I am today ^_^ I remember running away when someone was about to take a picture of me, I remember the awkward feeling I got right before the click (that as expected translated to an even stiffer face on film), I just couldn’t relax, a robot would have made a better job at faking an emotion. Ever since creating this blog though, I learned to let go little by little, things got considerably easier, although I still have difficulties shooting when there are lots and lots of people around. And that’s ok, we all have our anxieties and our struggles, without them there wouldn’t probably be a journey for us to go through. But wanting to overcome them is what truly makes the difference.

These pictures that we took yesterday represent all that I love about this journey of mine, about this little personal space; they reflect who I am today, the need I feel to make use of my creativity, my determination to see beauty everywhere, because if I’m committed to leaving little bits and pieces of me behind, if this is where my thoughts gather and where part of my memories will come to live, than I want to at least try and make it as beautiful as possible, for it to carry a meaning, to make you feel something and even put a smile on your face:

Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” — Thich Nhat Hanh

I love so much the way you write! So simple yet so deep ♥
I totally understand you, I used to be like that too and there are a lot of times when I am still ashamed when people are watching me.
These photos are so beautiful and I think they represent you very well, they are pure, simple and very special!
I don't think I need to tell you how much I love the dress, it's so amazing and the fact that is from a random brand makes me love it even more because I don't really believe in brands, I believe in anyone's creativity and in this case, the creativity of the ones who designed it and especially your creativity because you made it look so precious!

I feel you! I was like that in the past 😛
I'm not a poser, I don't act very natural in front of camera, but sometimes a smile makes all 😛
I love these photos! <3
Really, I don't feel I'm reading and watching a blog, seems like a fashion editorial in a big magazine.
The dress is wonderful and you wear it amazing, looks very well on you.
You are beautiful and very creative!

What a cute shoot! Definitely super dreamy, I think you make for such a perfect model actually. I love these personal blogs, it truly can bring out the best in each of us and spread that confidence and overcoming of obstacles with others 😀
